Green, H. 1998 August 6 (continued) snakes. at 1000 we set signals of CM21, 36, 37 at her site, and there is a 'basking/resting pile of babies' at the front that includes 1-dot. The babies still have opaque eyes and skins. At 1120h I set off CM27 signal in a big rat nest surrounded by grey rocks & Opuntia, 4m west of this July 27 flag. August 7 at 0810h we got only a weak poorly directional signal from CM28 from the road and see no snakes at the ledge where the possible combat occurs. We get CM27 signal from under a boulder ~30m uphill from the ledge, causing concern that I transposed the freq. yesterday. We have also been having a puzzling (at least to me) difficulty localizing signals lately. At 0820h, at the site for F21 we see 4-dot coiled in sun, eyes still cloudy, with balloon visible through translucent probotton. We get signals for CM 21, 36, &37 from the site. at 0940 we see CM29 in the same place and same posture as yesterday w/ three shed skins in front of entrance, including 2-dot. Signal same for CM38.
